Course Description

What students are saying:

  • M.Sc. Daniel Stiber says, "I liked this course very much. It shows you everything you need to build a smart mirror."

  • Bert Chen says, "The steps are very detailed, even a novice can easily understand."

Welcome to this course.

In this Course, we give you some detailed instructions on how to make an easy Raspberry Pi-powered home smart mirror. 

A smart mirror displays applications so that you can check the weather, local news, etc., while you are getting ready in the morning. It's also modular, so you can easily move it around or hang it on the wall if you like. We are introducing a basic application that you can run on the smart mirror, but it's totally customizable if you want to write some of your own code. 

You can use a Raspberry Pi 3 or A, B+ or any other Pi Module.

The word smart comes from the fact that this mirror helps you in a smart way, you won't just see yourself, you will also see the weather in your area, the date and time in addition to latest news depending on your location, you can change the display language easily using a customization file that we provide.

This is a step-by-step tutorial that will help you make it in no time. You don't need any experience at all, and if you have any questions, please ask in the Q&A board.

More About Ashraf:

I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.

In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.

I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
